The breading adds a crisp coating or crust to the exterior of the chicken while retaining juices in the meat.
BISCUITS
I’ve more than acquired the taste for a good fluffy biscuit, and especially one loaded with bacon, egg, and pimento cheese. But you can be as creative as you want with fillings!
A small, savoury, deep-fried round ball made from cornmeal-based batter. A lot of people like them with a spicy dipping sauce, or hot honey dipping sauce to sweeten them up.
HUSH PUPPIES
Another classic Southern tradition is country ham that is aged, smoked, dried and cured to perfection, and heavily salted.
COLLARD GREENS
Traditionally, Southern collard greens are made with pork. Also add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the broth, and apple cider vinegar, and a tablespoon of sugar.
